Jim, I would rather have a company running around fixing things than warning. You are too smart to be implying that because others warned, IBM should be, although it is possible to read your post that way. Perhaps IBM should warn that it revenues from technology licensing can be impacted when the success of IBM products reduces licensee sales. There have been lots of post with URLs to real news that is positive for Big Blue. A lot fewer posts have URLs to real news that is negative. Wonder why? <VBG> Long and happy, Scott
